John Trapp on James 5:13

Verſe 13. Is any among you afflicted] Any one may: for grace is no target againſt affliction.

Let him pray] Not only becauſe praier is ſutable to a ſad diſpoſition, but becauſe it is the conduit of comfort, and hath virtutem pacativam, a ſetling efficacy.

Is any man merry] [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Gr. Is he right ſet, Well hung on, as we ſay? All true mirth is from the rectitude of the minde, from a right f[illegible: 1 letter]ame of ſoul, that ſets and ſhews it ſelf in a chearfull counte[illegible: 1 letter]ance.

Let him ſing Pſalmes] So that in all eſtates we muſt be doing ſomewhat for God, T'am Dei meminiſſe opus est, quam respirare.
